On August 6 Jay L. Wulfson of East Brunswick, NJ, signed a lease agreement with the State of Vermont to begin operations. President Wulfson, along with Vice-President Harold T. Filskov, Charles Bischoff, and an ambitious team of railroaders, set off to run the Vermont Railway (VTR), the nation’s first privately-owned railroad operating on a publicly-owned right of way. Soon after, Jay’s wife, Joan Wulfson, left East Brunswick with their four kids, and a collie dog in a station wagon to drive overnight to meet him in their new home State.
